Carl Johan Calleman was born at the exact midpoint of the month named from the Roman goddess Maya (May 15, 1950 12am), which is also the day 5 Jaguar in the traditional Sacred Calendar of the Maya.
He is the author of three books on the Mayan calendar, Maya-hypotesen (in Swedish, 1994), The Mayan Calendar (Garev, 2001) and The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness (Bear and Co, 2004). He has consistently upheld the value of the traditional Mayan calendar system and was invited as one of the main speakers at the conference organized by the Indigenous Council of the Americas in Merida 1998. He lectures and gives courses about the traditional Mayan calendar across the world.
Carl also has a PhD from the University of Stockholm and has been a Senior Researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle. He has served as an expert on cancer for the World Health Organization.

The Oneness Celebration – [part two]The new Tree of Life leads to an end to Dominance

In part two of this article, Carl concludes his fascinating insight into the cosmic effects of the Venus Transit and the development of the fulfilling qualities of the new World Tree.

At the present time this has direct relevance for the situation in the world, since, regardless of whether a person is in resonance primarily with the synthesis of light or that of darkness the polarized consciousness that has dominated mankind ever since the beginning of the Mayan Long Count will now lose its role. Hence, the very phenomenon of dominance in human relations is in the process of coming to an end and this is today happening right in front of our eyes. If the polarized consciousness that has created dominance for so long is coming to an end, then this serve to explain the many expressions of violence that are now raging, especially in the areas where the patriarchal mentality has been ruling for the longest time.

Thus, this violence may be even further intensified in these areas, essentially stretching from Egypt to the Indus Valley, where the present expressions of this particular mentality are embodied by the religion of Islam. There, the endarkening consciousness to the right in the figure will serve to generate desperate acts of violence. Yet, this does not mean that a new system of dominance can be re-established, since we are entering a period where the polarized consciousness will have a less and less marked presence in the world. Suicide bombings never establish a system of dominance, only fear, despair and pain. Even if violent conflicts, warfare and acts of terrorism will continue and very likely increase over time, a world is now emerging where wars can no longer be won. This is because “winning” a war is a notion based on the polarized consciousness of the National Underworld, and neither the endarkened nor the enlightened synthesis in the attached figure will be able to establish and sustain dominance. A polarized frame of consciousness was in other words a pre-requisite for being able to “win” a war.

That the possibility of winning a war is now truly coming to an end may not yet have dawned on the Pentagon or the general public either for that matter. After all, for millennia human history seems to have demonstrated that wars can be won and the relatively recent World War II presents a classical case of a war that was won. Iraq is however now turning into the first clear example of a war that will not be won. Rather, random acts of violence committed by people dominated by an endarkened frame of consciousness is becoming part of a permanent situation.

Iraq, of course, is the region of the world that has for the longest time been dominated by a patriarchal consciousness and so it is not an accident that it is right there that the first obvious case of such a war is being played out. Because of the change in consciousness brought about by the Galactic Underworld, we may then expect that in the period ahead wars and violent conflicts will have no winners, only losers. As we go deeper into the consciousness of this Underworld we will find that other situations will go out of the hands of the rulers simply because the frame of consciousness that has previously nurtured dominance is now losing its grip. Looking at this from the perspective of the desire of the Western coalition to maintain its global dominance it seems obvious that a war that was initiated for false reasons, and which has produced some of the expressions of torture that the Saddam regime was branded for, can never really be “won”.

Path Passes Through Chaos

Moreover, if the consciousness of dominance is now receding we may expect chaos to take over also many other aspects of human life. For about 5000 years human societies have been based on hierarchies of dominance and this dominance has shaped also individual relationships on all levels. In the present situation, where dominance as such is receding, a natural first evolutionary phase is chaos, not only on a societal level, but also in personal relationships as we are looking for a basis of relating that is not based on dominance. The path from dominance to non-dominance in fact necessarily passes through chaos. Not the least among very spiritual people, that may be the most sensitive to the emergence of strengthened intuitive capabilities of the Galactic Underworld, we will see a lot of turmoil, separations and divorces as we all grapple with finding a new basis for relationships.

The only realistic thing is to expect that, especially now after the first Venus Transit, there will be no way of returning to the stable way things used to be, but rather to continue following the flow that leads us to a way of being in resonance with the consciousness of light. Because of the rapidly alternating energies of time, as those are described by the Mayan calendar, most of which I am not discussing here, this process will not possibly be linear. Thus, in this wave movement faith will be needed in a divine guidance leading to the end result of light.

The Trunk of the World Tree

Since the trunks of the World Trees of the respective Underworlds are delineating the chief yin/yang polarities of our planet, it becomes a factor of paramount importance for the continued spiritual evolution of the planet to know their exact locations. From the work described in my books The Mayan Calendar and The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness it is absolutely clear that the trunk of the World Tree stretches from somewhere in Central Africa through Central Europe. Yet, exactly where is not clear. In my books I have suggested a line through Rome and Copenhagen, but I am now, because of a number of experiences, inclined to place it somewhat East of that, in a line through Berlin and Malmö in Southern Sweden. This would at least explain the peculiar character of Sweden. This, on the one hand is the country in the world where the grip of organized religion and also the belief in God is the weakest. At the same time, it is one of the predominant countries of the world of today when it comes to unifying the spiritual traditions of the East and the West and in disseminating the spirituality of Oneness of the Galactic Underworld. What I am thinking about here is the instrumental role it has had in spreading the enlightenment processes of Kalki and Amma of the Golden Age Foundation in India. Also notable is the fact that, outside of Guatemala, Sweden is the only country where the true Mayan calendar is today regularly being published. These expressions were very evident during the Oneness Celebration and are direct expressions of the location of this country under the trunk of the World Tree. This location makes it a place where already at an early stage in the Galactic Underworld, it is relatively easy to unify the creation fields of the National and Galactic Underworlds.

Hence, the Oneness Celebration will be repeated in some form annually on June 6 to serve people in resetting their focus on the enlightenment of themselves and the rest of humanity. The guiding beacon in the “future” will then be the Venus Transit of June 6, 2012. During this second Venus Transit we will truly be able to manifest a Oneness Celebration as the cosmic plan towards Enlightenment will then have been completed. By comparison, the Oneness Celebration of 2004 rather served to set an intention for a state of consciousness that most of us have yet not attained. The Oneness Celebration at the Venus Transit of 2004 was thus only the beginning. Yet, the new Tree of Life has been rooted! It will now start to vibrate with a higher frequency and generate winds with an ever increasing strength. Given this high frequency of change life will no longer develop in a linear fashion. Yet, despite all the ups and downs generated in our lives by the Tree of Life raised by the First Mother a process is now under way that will lead to a more harmonious existence for those setting an aim at the synthesis of light, Enlightenment.
